The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #27 Arrival of Foreign Ships

Day after day passed, without feeling it had been a year Segara lived in the fishing village.

It has been approximately six months also he embraces happiness as a true husband for Pearl, although life is very simple, but he was very happy to live in the village with Imran and Pearl who loved him so much and was always with him in joy and sorrow. Feeling that he has the perfect family makes him no longer want to remember his past.

Her love for Pearl also deepens, the affection and attention Pearl gives her makes her fall even more in love with the girl's simplicity and innocence.

While in the fishing village, Segara was very diligent to join Imran sea and help Pearl take care of her stall. His ability about all kinds of engines also makes it often sought after by some people there to repair fish storage machines and ships, or other engine engines including motorcycles and cars. From his side job income, he and Mutiara started saving to repair his stall.

On a very bright morning.

Segara just finished helping Pearl in his stall.

"Darling, sorry I couldn't get you done cooking. I have to go home first because I have to take you to the sub-district."

Segara kissed Pearl's forehead, that afternoon he had to deliver Imran to the sub-district city to pay for electricity and water, besides that there were some marine needs that he had to buy there.

Usually Imran only go alone to the sub-district city, but since a few months ago Segara always drove him because he could not bear to let Imran go alone riding his increasingly butut and often broke down in the middle of the road.

"Yes, my heart, Bang! please take care of me!" sahut Mutiara while kissing the back of her husband's hand.

Segara left Mutiara alone in his stall and Mutiara immediately headed for the kitchen to continue cooking his lunch.

At the dock not far from the stall there is a fish boat that is not too big pulled over there. Two crew members got off the ship and started checking all parts of the ship. There was a small damage to the ship that forced her to lean in while there.

A man also got off the boat and looked agitated.

"I'm thirsty and hungry while the food supply on the ship is up!" the man rubbed his neck and felt his throat very dry while looking to the right and left looking for if there was a stall around the place.

The man's eyes were immediately fixed on the Pearl stall, he hastily stepped his feet towards there.

"What drinks are there, ma'am? I'm thirsty and hungry!" the man immediately asked when he arrived at the stall and saw Pearl was busy cooking in the kitchen in the back area of the stall.

Pearls are surprised because there are not usually any more buyers in such clockwork. Pearl was even more shocked when she saw the man who approached the stall was a foreign man whom she had never seen before, and it was certain that the man was not a villager.

"Want a hot or cold drink, Bang?" sahut Mutiara promoted his wares while pointing to a showcase refrigerator in the corner of his stall.

Since a few months with Segara, his stall is indeed a lot of changes, from the results of his hard work with her husband, the stall has been renovated and made wider. The type of snacks he sells is also increasing, in addition to the morning, Pearl also often opens its stall until the afternoon, he also sells for fishermen who want to go to sea. He and Segara even often do not go home and choose to stay in his stall, being in the stall makes them always remember the first night they had passed both there.

"I order black coffee same boiled noodles huh, Ma'am!" the man exclaimed as he opened the showcase door, took out a bottle of mineral water and sat on a nearby bench from inside the stall. The pearls immediately made the coffee and boiled noodles that the man had ordered.

"Please get your coffee and noodles, Bang!" mutiara said very kindly while carrying a small tray containing a cup of coffee and a bowl of noodles ordered by the man and serving it on the table in front of him.

"Thank you, Ma'am!" the man said with a friendly smile, but his eyes kept staring in admiration at the Pearl.

"You're a native of this village, huh, Ma'am?" the man asked politely.

"Yes, Bang. I was born and raised in this village!" answer Pearl friendly.

"You are so beautiful, Mother. There's not usually a woman as beautiful as you on a remote island like this!" praise the man with a smile and still very polite no intention to tease Pearl, just to admire it.

"I've also seen you, Bang! you're definitely not a villager here, are you?" ask Pearl.

"Yes, I'm from the city, ma'am. My fishing boat was damaged and we were forced to lean here for a while, even though our food supply on the ship was exhausted!" the man continued to tell stories while blowing on his still hot noodle soup and eating it slowly.

"Ohh... Brother from the city yes, I deserve to see Brother here!" The pearl nodded its head.

"My name is Genta, ma'am. Whose name is Mommy?" the man again introduced himself.

"Call the Pearls, Bang! no need to call Mommy!" reply Pearl welcomes kindly greetings introductions from the man.

"Bang Genta is the first time, huh, to this island?" tanya Mutiara again tried to get familiar with Genta.

"Yes. That's because my ship was damaged, otherwise I might never stop here" he explained.

From a distance, two men on board who had checked the engine of the ship, walked quickly to the Pearl stall and came to Genta on his seat.

"We can't go back to town today, boss!, our ship's engine is damaged and I contacted the team in town via handy talk, he said tomorrow there's a ship that leads here to pick us up!" said the man on the ship.

"That means tonight we have to stay here, huh?" Genta frowned while sighing deeply.

"Yes right, Boss!" say the other crew.

"Is there any accommodation around this village, Mutiara? our boat is damaged and we have to stay here tonight!" Genta asked Pearl.

"Well, if there is no accommodation in this village, Bang. Lodging is only in the city of sub-district, even then only small inns and the city of the district is still an hour away from here!" beber Pearl at length.

Hearing Pearl's explanation, Genta only exhaled his coarse breath.

"We had to spend the night on the boat and get cold!" his gerrick.

"Ohya, Bang! my husband understands the ship's engine, but unfortunately, now he's back in town, later in the afternoon he's back, later try to discuss with him, my husband can help you!" mutiara.

Genta again scrunched his forehead, he looked doubtful with the words of Pearl, he could not believe in such a remote village that there were people who were more skilled than him in shipping.

"So you have a husband, huh, Ra? " his question hides his doubt.

"Yes I'm married, Bang!" replied the Pearl with a friendly smile on her lips.

"You are beautiful and very young, but unfortunately married! I had a crush on you, you know!" seloroh Genta, finally spoken also the sentence of temptation from his mouth that made Pearl chuckle.

"Boss, we're hungry too, can we order noodles too?" one of the crewmen of the ship told Genta.

Genta just smiled cynically.

"Order two noodles and two more coffees yeah, Ra!" he shouted to Pearl, ordering food for the two crew members of his ship.
